Marrying

Chapter 739

You’ve got your people inside Noria Group, right? It’s time to make your move” Fred ordered.

He had already planned it out. When the time came, he needed everything in place. With the right people backing him, whatever he did from now on would be twice as effective with half the effort.

And of course, the Anderson family would be there to fan the flames.

Hearing this, the Grant family cousins were full of praise. Fred, you’re so thorough in your thinking. You’re brilliant”

“There’s hope for us now that you’re back. Otherwise, Matthew would keep us under his thumb, and we wouldn’t know what to do!”

“Now that Fred’s back, everything’s different. We have car backbone

Fred felt a surge of pride as they flattered him. ‘In the end, the Grant family still relies on me! Matthew, that young kid, can’t accomplish anything!” he wondered.

He smirked and raised his glass, the sound of clinking glasses filling the private room

Fred had already decided that he must seize this opportunity to create chaos within Noria Group, so he could reclaim the money he lost earlier.

With the Anderson family’s support, there’s no way this can go wrong he wondered.

After the gathering, Fred went back, and sure enough, things were starting to unravel for the Grant family.

hey said our goods don’t have the

Late that night Valerie received a call from Charles. “Mrs. Grant, the cargo at the docks has been rejected. They proper customs paperwork, so they’re not letting it through”

Valerie was stunned. “How could that be? The goods are fully compliant and legal Why would they be rejected?”

“They suddenly raised the pricer Churles was furious. The other party’s sudden price hike, disregarding the contract, was already a breach of the agreciment. Now they were blocking their goods, which was even more outrageous.

Valerie immediately understood that someone was deliberately causing trouble behind the scenes. There was no way this issue could ve surfaced at such a critical time unless it was intentional.

Noria Group had a long–standing relationship with this dock. Everyone was eager to use this opportunity to latch onto Noria Group.

But now, they dared to kick them when they were down, which convinced Valerie that someone was out to make things difficult for Noria Group.

“If the price hike is within our budget, approve it. But if it exceeds the budget, find another way. If necessary, contact the Kranson City municipal authorities directly! Valerie instructed.

“Understood,” Charles replied in a serious tone. “Mrs. Grant, I’ve noticed some people getting restless lately. It seems they’re eager to cause trouble while Mr. Grant is away.

Valerie had already anticipated this. The moment word about Mathew spread back home, many would jump at the chance to take advantage.

Noria Group dominated Kranson City’s market, making them untouchable. But there were plenty of people eyeing that piece of the pic.

If Matthew were to die, Noria Group would become a prime target, not just from external threats, but possibly from within the Grant family as well.

“Charles, you must stabilize our headquarters. As long as Noria Group stands strong, they won’t dare act recklessly: Valerie instructed firmly. “As for those who hiked prices at the last minute and those who tried to kick us while we’re down, blacklist them all from Noria Group. We’ll find another route. I refuse to believe there’s no other way to get these goods in besides their dock! And if wore comes to worst, we’ll take legal action. I’m not afraid of them!“.

“Yes, Mrs. Grand Charles replied resolutely.

After hanging up the phone, Valerie glanced at her sleeping child, taking a deep breath. Matthew, you have to come back. I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold on much longer!

If the members of the Grant family started causing trouble again, she might find herself attacked from all sides.

Valerie furrowed her brow, gripping her child’s hand tightly. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, but she didn’t dare make a sound for fear that Sophia would hear and worry.

However, things turned out to be even more complicated than she had insagined,

Just as the dock issue was resolved with the intervention of the legal team, allowing the goods to finally be unloaded, another problem arose.

Chapter 739

Their business partners started causing a fuss, refusing to renew contracts and stating outright that without Matthew, they wouldn’t continue their collaboration.

With Matthew abroad, Valerie became the subject of ridicule whenever she appeared. People mocked her as a country woman with no business training, unfit to give orders.

But as Matthew’s wife, she had to hold everything together.

In just one short week, Valerie and Charles faced countless challenges,

Suppliers failed to deliver, and partners suddenly pulled out, preferring to pay breach of contract penalties rather than continue working »

Fortunately, Valerie was quick–witted, and Noria Group’s foundation was strong. With Charles’s assistance, they managed to resolve the issues one by one, though it left Valerie utterly exhausted. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

She had never imagined how terrible life would be withoun Manhew

What made it worse was that Matthew’s death hadn’t even been confirmed, and yet people were already scrambling to seize control, taking advantage of the situation to carve out their share,

Valerie frowned deeply. This can’t go on. I need to take the initiative!” she wondered

Early the next morning, Valerie arrived at Noria Group, where the conference room was already filled with people. Fred was there, waiting for her,

She wasn’t surprised at all to see him.

The Grant family was short on manpower, with Matthew abroad, and just when Noria Group was being attacked, it was obvious someone was pulling strings behind the scenes.

Fred’s presence only confirmed her suspicions,

Valeric took a deep breath as Fred sneered. “Mrs. Grant, it’s been a while. You’ve lost some weight and look quite worn out”

Valerie knew exactly what he was implying Charles had already informed her that Fred had been secretly communicating with other members of the Grant family and had been orchestrating many of the problems they had recently faced.

Fred was still unsatisfied, wanting to make a comeback.

But Valerie wasn’t the same as before. She responded calmly, I didn’t expect us to meet again. It’s been some time, and you look quite a bit older. It seems your time away hasn’t been kind to you. What a pity…

Her gaze was filled with pity.

Though Fred had lived a muddle–beaded life, he had a strong personality. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood from her words.

Damn it! That wretched woman! he cursed inwardly
